Because your politicians have been indefensibly sluggish in responding to the demands that the institutions of the mentally retarded be cleaned up and eventually emptied out, the fight to provide humane and dignified care for them has been fought primarily in the media one in the federal courts. Successful lawsuits that have confirmed their human rights have been argued in 8 states, and lawsuits are pending in 11 other states. So this is a national movement. Our latest documentary was also presented in the form of a legal brief. We revisit the same mental hospital 3 years later.
